I have made my way through the rain, traffic, darkness. Through winding alleys and shortcuts to this club in a misbegotten street off that lonesome path. My brother Enrique would be there manning the door outside in the darkness illuminated by the distant streetlight and I would be there standing with him. Inside the club was very crowded full of beautiful women and stupid boys. I would only go down to get a drink and then quickly return outside to escape that horrible music that was being played by a dj who should have hung it up a long time ago. I would stand outside again, drink in hand in the darkness, in the rain and wind looking up at the dark brooding buildings all around my body hugging the wall to avoid the drips. During the course of the night the fortune teller would wander by and give tarot readings. I would stand outside in the rain with my brother Enrique who manned the door and listen to a crazy man tell me what may come true. True love true love lost my brain flooded with toxins I could believe I could do anything. At one in the morning a girl would come out asking me for a cigeratte I would oblige as she stood quite peculiar shivering in her black dress and fancy shoes her body next to mine. I lit her cigeratte. I could feel her breath on my hand. I could feel the heat between us as she stood close to me looking down at the wet pavement glistening in the darkness as my desire drowned in her sweet perfume.
